MTUC proposes a RM300 monthly cost of living allowance


PETALING JAYA: The MTUC has proposed a RM300 monthly cost of living allowance (Cola) for the 10 million private sector workers in view of the escalating cost of living.

Its president Khalid Atan said it was essential for the Government to introduce the regulation on Cola because almost five million private sector workers were now earning just about RM30 above the poverty line of RM870 per month.
